Hi,
I don't usually post in this thread. It causes me ''too much'' anxiety.

I personally am not a fan of labels such as ''anxious and avoidant''.... I think it can contribute to a sense of guilt and shame. I also am not a fan of certain words.... UGGGHHHH

Sorry about the Grrrrrrrrr post. I think I need to go back to ''avoiding'' and hide under my rock



PS maybe part of managing anxiety is being kinder and gentler to ourselves? What do y'all think?

I also think it's ok to ''avoid'' some things. It isn't a crime, at least the last time I checked it wasn't
